Contador just really didn't look good

Re: Re:

The 4 leaders can better wait for the chasing group. Too much wasted energy.

Everyone is working whether they are in the first or second group

Working in a group of 4 it is 25% of the time in the wind.
Working in a group of 10 it is 10% of the time in the wind.

Re:

So Nippo is riding but the gap stays constant. I don't trust this GPS, or Nippo really sucks.

Nippo sucks and I don't trust the GPS so anything could be happening.

Astana puts a man on the front!

He doesn't look happy, maybe its the rain, but neither does Aru.

Furious pace right now!

His close-up showed just about the same expression as Aru's. In this cold and rain... I think only Quintana would be stale-face on a day like this.

Then never attack

The Vini Fantini sponsor is supposedly from the area.

What did you think of the T-S handgestures? Conta did seem a bit at unease, but who knows.

uff.. lots' of discussion between contador and his team.. (watching moto 2 RAI)

 

[TheGreenMonkey]

Astana have put Zeits on the front.

 

[l.Harm]

I wouldn't be surprised if the maglia rosa group turns out to be six minutes behind.

Yep thats a good thing how to stalk front of the peloton

 

[WheelofGear]

Contador looks a little sad. :'(

But he is a fighter. Go Contador. You can win this!!

Any chance the break will hold?

Yes.

Rai must be the dream job for slo-mo operators from around the world.


The bunch goes from strung out to 12-wide in the middle. Gap goes down by 30 seconds...

Moto 2 on Rai is showing a sky rider on the cobbles bike.

[DenisMenchov]

I'd really like if Niemec could win or take maglia rosa

 

[Rollthedice]

I would be surprised if Contador will not at least control the uphill finish. If he doesn't we will never know if it's the shoulder or just if he's not in form.
